What are the long-term implications of the perceived decline or transformation of 'laikotita' for Greek society and its artistic expressions?

The debate on 'laikotita' involves author Petros Markaris, who claims it's absent due to the loss of humor in popular culture, and singer Yiannis Kotsiras, who believes it persists in underground scenes and communities that reflect genuine working-class experiences. This disparity highlights a potential disconnect between mainstream popular culture and authentic folk expression.

What is the immediate impact of the contrasting approaches to banning Russian culture in Lithuania and Ukraine, and what are the specific implications for cultural freedom and national identity?

In 2021, Lithuania's culture minister banned performances of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker in the national opera and ballet house due to the war in Ukraine, viewing it as necessary to distance itself from Russian culture. However, this decision was reversed in late 2023 by the current culture minister, who sees no reason for the ban. A former minister argued in The New York Times that banning art restricts cultural freedom.",

After Stalin's death in 1953, Nikita Khrushchev's rise to power initiated a period of cultural thaw in the Soviet Union. His 1956 denouncement of Stalin's cult of personality allowed for more realistic art forms, drawing inspiration from Italian Neorealism. This is exemplified by Mikhail Kalatozov's 1957 film, "When Cranes Are Flying", which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
